“Writing is like breathing, it’s possible to learn to do it well, but the point is to do it no matter what.”
― Julia Cameron, The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life

And, just a quick reminder about the SOL dinner:

We’ll be dining at McLoone’s Pier House on Saturday evening, 11/22.  RSVP to Stacey via e-mail [stacey {at} staceyshubitz {dot} com] by October 31st if you plan to attend.  She will email you back with the address and time.

FAQ’s

  • May I come if I only slice in March, but not year-round?
    • Yes!
  • What should I bring?
    • This is a dutch treat dinner, so please bring cash.  This makes it easier on the server when it comes time to divvy up the check.
  • I’m attending the conference with a colleague who doesn’t take part in theSOLSC.  May I bring him/her?
    • As long as s/he starts slicing by the end of October, then s/he is welcome.  We’re an inclusive group, but we don’t want the dinner to get too big.  Therefore, we’re trying to limit it to people who regularly take part in the year-round and/or March challenges.

Also, five (of the six) of us will be presenting at NCTE on Saturday morning, 11/22.  We hope you’ll be able to join us for our session at 9:30 a.m.  Here’s more information about our round table session:

    Level me Not

    Reflecting on sharing reading levels with kids after a night of tutoring kids that can’t name books they love, but can tell me the levels of the kids in the class and think that the letters on the spine of the boks in the public library are reading levels.
